Experiments with the ISS

Posted on April 29, 2011May 2, 2011 by abram

I’ve attempted for months to catch a signal from the ISS as it quickly flies over head. Being in such a low-earth orbit, the longest pass you can catch is about ten minutes long. Yesterday, I was able to hear a bit of the APRS packets coming off the transmitter. Mac platforms, unfortunately, have little to offer in the way of AX.25 as of yet. Though I wasn’t quite setup, I do have an old G3 iBook (liBook?) that I’ve installed Gentoo on and configured AX.25 to work with an external audio interface. More to come.

Abram Morphew is an electrical engineer, bedroom musician, composer, naturalist, and amateur scientist. I play music in the the binary marketing show. This blog is a catalog of stuff that I make or bits of information that I think could prove useful later on when memory fails me.

 

I currently hold an Extra Class Amateur Radio Operator license and transmit on the air as K2NXF.
